MISSION STATEMENT

The schools in this district will operate in the best interest of our students. This will be accomplished in part by the building and maintenance of a sound educational program that both values, and includes provision for, diversity and equity. The comprehensive educational program conducted by this district will be highly responsive to our students' needs and innovative in its approach. We will anticipate student and community needs and will efficiently and effectively deliver educational services of a high quality and value.

We explicitly recognize that the achievement of this mission will depend upon the commitment of our most valuable asset - our total school staff including both classified and certified personnel.

We further recognize that the achievement of this mission can be facilitated best in an environment that allows for the responsible exercise of academic freedom. We will therefore support and defend all responsible academic activities.
